I love books--- paranormal, urban fantasy, romance of any kind, historical fiction, YA, and many others. Political or self help are about the only kind I don't pick up.

BOOKS AND BLOGGING PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy is defined as a theory underlying or regarding a sphere of activity or thought. Well, my theory is if I can add at least 10 new books to my Wishlist and move at least 5 older Wishlist selections to my TBR list every month, then life is a ice cream sundae. And if I can find those 10 books from at least 5 new blogs each month then that's the cherry on top.

NEW VISITORS AND OLD- WELCOME!

NEW VISITORS AND OLD- WELCOME!

Well, I've made it almost 5 years now, so for better or worse, I continue on. I tend to blog in spurts as the urge to be creative erupts. As I don't have an artistic bone in my body, you will see very few changes in the layouts. Hey, I'm a reader not an artist like so many of the awesome bloggers I follow. I know you don't always have the time but if you stopped and looked, take a half a minute and say your piece. Recommend a book that you have enjoyed or hated for that matter. Thank you to all who visit.

Oh, and I moved my Google Friend Connect info and share this buttons to the top, as without our friends, who are we?

Book Blitz & Giveaway For IT'S ME AGAIN, BABY by Katie Reus

She lost him once…Years ago Samantha made a mistake and lost a chance at something real with Maguire O’Connor. Now that she’s living in Holly again, she knows seeing him is inevitable. But the last thing she ever expected was to take him on as a client.Now they have a second chance…Maguire never got over Sam. Thanks to a meddling family member, he mistakenly hires Sam as his real estate agent. With her in his sights again, he’s not letting her go. But someone from her past followed her back to Holly with a sinister intent. Now Maguire will do whatever it takes to protect the woman he intends to claim as his forever.

Outside in the sunshine,
a cool spring breeze rolled over them, making the hem of her dress flutter
slightly. May was one of her favorite times of the year. Not too hot, not too
cold. Perfect. Everything was coming back to life; a time for new beginnings.

Maguire had sunglasses on
so it was impossible to read his expression as he stepped up onto the sidewalk.
“Sorry I’m a little early.”

“It’s okay,” Ethan said
before she could respond. He held out a hand for Maguire. “We’re done here, but
I was just telling Sam that I was looking for someone to restore an old Morgan.
Your name keeps coming up.”

Maguire gave a neutral
smile as he nodded. “My team and I do a good job. If you’re interested in a
quote feel free to call the office. Harper will set you up with a consult and
we’ll see if we’re a fit.”

Ethan nodded and the two
men didn’t bother making small talk, just shook hands.

“I’ll call you in the
morning,” Ethan said as he turned back to Sam. “I’m pretty sure I want to put
in offers on a couple places. Need to run some numbers tonight.”

“I’ll talk to you
tomorrow, then.” She’d ended up gaining Ethan as a client because he’d been
unhappy with his last Realtor. Called the guy lazy. And considering Sam’s brief
interactions with the man, she couldn’t disagree.

“I got your text, and the
address you sent me is closer than the places I found so we can start there if
you’d like,” she said to Maguire as Ethan slid into the driver’s seat of his
car.

Maguire pushed his
sunglasses back on his head, and when she locked gazes with him she felt the
full force of those beautiful blue eyes. They seemed electric out in the
sunlight, pinning her in place. “You look beautiful today.”

She blinked, taken by
surprise at his words—both the bluntness and the sweetness of them. “Thank you.
You look pretty good yourself.” Oh, boy. This was not business talk, not even
close. What the heck was she doing? She should keep this purely professional.
For reasons that eluded her right now.

He gave her a slow,
wicked grin, completely erasing the business professional mode of his
expression when he’d been talking to Ethan. The transformation had another rush
of heat surging through her. It didn’t matter that it was spring and cool
outside—her internal temperature skyrocketed to about a thousand degrees.

“Is that how you talk to
all of your clients?”

“Only the ones who I’ve
seen naked—and you’re the only one, for the record.” She tacked on the last
part when she realized how it would have sounded. Apparently she’d decided to
throw her professional mode out the window along with her sanity. Right now she
was pretty certain she was playing with fire.

Katie Reus is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Red Stone Security series, the Darkness series and the Deadly Ops series. She fell in love with romance at a young age thanks to books she pilfered from her mom’s stash. Years later she loves reading romance almost as much as she loves writing it. However, she didn’t always know she wanted to be a writer. After changing majors many times, she finally graduated summa cum laude with a degree in psychology. Not long after that she discovered a new love. Writing. She now spends her days writing dark paranormal romance and sexy romantic suspense.

I know it's only February, but I may have just read what could become my favorite book of 2016. It has been so long since I've read a book that captivated me as much as this juicy post-apocalyptic romance. This book has it all- adventure...

I've not read the first book in this series and it's really not essential to the storyline in this one, but I just have to go back and read it so I have a fuller picture of these assassins. Christopher Argent was born and raised in Newga...

As a lover of thrillers, this book drew me in from the beginning. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was I found it so improbable that someone could have lived off the grid for ten years in this day and time. The main character ...

First of all (and I'm not usually one that drools over a book cover, butttt) this cover model reminds me so much of two of my fav
Western actors, James Garner as Maverick, but with Robert Mitchum's cleft chin (with what "we" now apparent...

I really wanted to love this book. I love historicals, cowboys and the whole idea of mail-order brides but felt that this story was a bit lacking in details. I wanted more history and more of the bride train. I think it would have benefi...

I enjoyed this romance. While the romance didn't blow me away, the story in it's entirety was quite enjoyable. I think I've gotten a bit tired of the billionaire/prince storylines, though the precious baby angle will always drag me in. W...

These stories had two things that ordinarily mark a story as a sure winner for me-babies and a second chance at romance. Throw in suspense and bam! I'm loving it. But for some reason neither clicked for me. Possibly because both stories ...

Miller never fails to leave me satisfied after reading one of her western romances and always has me checking to see when the next book in a series is being released. As always, I'm never disappointed in the characters or the storyline. ...

I love a story where the secondary characters are as likeable as the main characters. This was an awesome followup to book 1, taking up right where "Playing Dirty" left off. This is a hot, sexy, fun read and I can't wait for "Coming Clea...

I've read twisty murder thrillers before but nothing, nothing on the scale of "No One Knows". Just as soon as you feel comfortable that you've got a hold on the truth and what's really going on, the rug gets ripped out from under you and...

I've been thinking about reading this series
for awhile so when I got a chance to read this
collection of novellas from the series, I jumped

a quick feel for the series. I'm always ...

I haven't read the first book in the series
but having read Fox's Biker Witches Mystery
series, I knew I'd enjoy this one too. As always

This book had all the things I love in a small
town romance, a sometimes feisty character
who could make me laugh, a little suspense
and mystery, and a hunky guy.
Benevolence, Wash so reminded me of my small
